So you honestly believe that a judge would force a joint contract vote? Tell me joe, would the judge read over the contract, would he do a cost analysis? I suppose if the judge is going to force the MEC to vote “yes” ,then the company is in a very good position. Perhaps the company should just offer less and less because according to you, the pilots really do not have a say in the contract negotiations. It is all up to the company and the judge. The longer the company drags its feet, the more time goes by, the more impatient the judge will become. Really, is this how you see this going down? Why don’t we just fast forward and let the judge negotiate a deal with the company- anything to get the NIC, "award" in place.
